World Food Travel Association

I'd like to apply to speak at an upcoming event. What do I do? What's in it for me?

We are always looking for talented people to speak at our upcoming events. The topics we cover vary by event type.

For FoodTreX London | Food Travel Innovation Summit, we look for examples of excellence, leadership and innovation in a wide variety of sectors that touch our industry. The example should always show how the industry or business ties into food and beverage tourism. The example should be truly innovative and remarkable, and have a global appeal. During the application process, you'll need to link your story to one of the sectors of our extended food/beverage tourism industry. You'll see what we mean on the application form.

For FoodTreX Global | Online Food Travel Summit, we look for examples of how-to's, best practices, case studies, marketing campaigns, fundraising campaigns, trends, issues, data, technologies and relevant services that have a global appeal. While a story originates in a region, the lesson learned should be applicable to delegates anywhere in the world. This format is 100% webinar and you should be both able to, and comfortable with, delivering in this format.

The available speaking opportunities at our events are limited, and are therefore highly competitive. Speakers who are selected benefit from high visibility for you and your business. We will feature your name, title, session title and description and any hyperlinks you share on the website of the Summit you're speaking at. We're planning for all past summits to stay live online, so that means the "shelf life" of your listing as an event speaker is quite long.

Given the tremendous benefit of publicity that you will enjoy, please note that we are unable to pay a speaker fee or reimburse for travel expenses. In addition to the publicity, you will also receive complimentary admission to the full conference at which you are speaking. For FoodTreX Online Food Travel Summit (only, as no other events are recorded), you will receive a recording of your presentation for your own professional and promotional use.
